I really like Fournier Boudry/Sorensen's energy and attack but the program was really bland and their basics aren't particularly great. Still it's only their first season together, I think there's potential there.

Lindholm/Kanervo wuzrobbed a bit but other than that, it's a decent result so far, I have to say.

P.S. Nobody else watching? :p

I've just arrived!

Really surprised that спорт-2 made a hash of things with the adverts they put in during the group 2 warm-up. They mis-timed it badly, and the ads didn't finish until well after the next couple (Shrtork/Rand) had started!!! Grrr!!!

That's the sort of thing we would expect Eurosport would do, not спорт-2! :eek: :laugh:

Shtork/Rand skated ok but I found the program bland and open and her upper body movement really lacks flow and refinement. Off-synch on twizzles.

I wonder what the judges are seeing that I am not because in the SD also, I felt this team got marks way too high for what they have shown.

I'm here too, although the feed is a bit unstable and keeps freezing.
Hope H/D will get better pcs because yesterday's were awfully low.
I still dream P/C can place higher than C/J but it's going to be tough

My biggest issue with Shtork/Rand is his facial expression :hb:

Kolbe/Caruso did quite well on the elements, good commitment to presenting the program as well. I found his posture quite grating, however, and some more variety and highlights in the choreo would have been nice (it was a bit of a sickly-sweet Disneyfest overload :laugh:).Their soft movements reflected the character of the music quite well though.

I'm waiting for the later groups before I turn it on...lol

There are three exceptional programs in this group.

Pedrazzini is hilarious. Everytime a couple is somehow related to Italy, then they become amazing, wonderful, too good for words and deserving more 10s than the Canton teams.
I really hope he's better as a technical specialist than as a commentator.

I can't believe how much Testa/Csolley improved since last season. Lots of character in the program and they presented it well with good projection and refined upper body movement. Most elements were well executed as well.

They didn't get K/C's levels and they don't have their basic skating yet but I'd reward them on the GOE and the other PCS.

Hurtado/Diaz, Papadakis/Cizeron and... ?

Testa/Csolley. Their Addams Family is really fun. :)

TESTA / CSOLLEY are improving very fast,
I think they were 4th in Universiade

do they train summer camps in the US/ Shipilband ?

noooo!
what a terrible fall so close to the end!
I agree with Testa/Csolley, they were really entertaining :)
They must have lost some levels to fall behind the (elegant but bland) Germans?
